3.

The Tea Party is having a rally to oppose the middle class tax break for those Americans making $250K/year or less even though 98% of the Tea Party members fall within this category.

White trash identity politics, circa 2009-2010. This movement features the isolated and ignorant boldly and proudly acting as vassals for a small group of cynical thieves, like the Koch brothers (whose own younger brother has accused of being criminals).

Every moron in the Tea Party is interested in impoverishing themselves, as long as it keeps the Kochs, Rupert Murdoch, and other criminals rich and keeps minorities poor.

Another bunch of useful idiots who believe that a government is "small" when it wastes squillions of dollars on wars but lets poor citizens croak instead of helping them with medicare.

Naive dreamers who think that capitalism is some kind of romantic exchange of goods between the farmer John Wayne and the horse breeder Gary Cooper, and the dominion of monopole corporations and banks is "socialism".

Hate-filled hyprocrites who call everyone Hitler!Hitler!Hitler! but when YOU only call them "right wing" they are screaming about "political correctness gone wild" and that they are just "concerned" citizens, looking for freedom.

Allegedly they don't want government involved with your everyday life - except when it comes to gay marriage (FORBID IT!) and all the other things that make baby Jesus cry.

Normal Person: Church and state should remain separate!

Teabaggers: You want America to become islamic!

Normal Person: No, I...

Teabagger: Why do you hate America so much?

Normal Person? What? I don't hate...

Teabagger: And why don't you think of the children!? Think of the children!

Teabagger: See! Everyone who asks the "wrong" questions is "crazy" and has to be put in a gulag! Come on, kid, why do you hate freedom so much? Why don't you defend the freedom of speech!?

Normal speech: I defend the freedom of speech! I defend my right to call the Tea Party a bunch of lunatic crypto-fascist hypocrites who would deserve to get crippled in one of your stupid, unnecessary wars, to live on the street afterwards and then to work as a loo attendant for 1$ a week at the millionaire's villa of one of your stupid teaparty moms, who claims to defend the little guy against the "liberal elite".

A minor right-wing political party in the United States that is for lower taxes, smaller government, and against government spending. Apparently, this somehow makes them racist.

Me- Those Tea Party people are protesting across the street.
Undereducated Guy- *Gasp* Nazis!
Me- What do you mean?
Guy- They oppose Obama and taxes and large federal government! They are obviously racist Nazis!
Me- But how does that make them racist?
Guy- Because… um…
Me- And didn't the Nazis want larger government?
Guy- *Gasp* You're a Nazi too!
Me- *sigh*

In 1773, a group of rebels in Boston harbor angry at a foreign king for forcing taxes on tea imports that the rebels were forced to buy, so they prentended to be dark-skinned natives and dumped the imports into the sea.

Today, a wing of the Republican party dedicated to getting Obama out of office, while conveniently living in denial about the abuses of the Bush years and the Wall Street origins of the Great Recession (2007-present). For instance, the tea party has no problem w/ the glut of cheap imports flooding Walmarts across the fruited plain or the debasement of wages globally that result from it. The tea party actually opposes living wages and organized labor, while having no problems w/ white collar fraud.

The Boston Tea Party was as American as apple pie.

The modern tea party twerps piss me off. Do they even know what the Boston Tea Party was about? It was a foreign country taxing us on imported tea. Who wanted NAFTA and WTO in the 1st place? Who voted for total banking deregulation? Did the Founding Fathers come to America to have the church tell them what to do? I know the desire to tease gays must be irresistable, but THINK!

Acronym for Taxed Enough Already. Loose references to the Boston Tea Party of 1773 where citizens revolted against Great Britain over taxation without representation.

The gathering of conservatives, particularly on April 15 2009, to protest "wasteful government spending" aka "allowing tax money to go to anyone who isn't white, male, and protestant or lives in a house ran by one."

Common misconceptions of participators (teabagers) is that they are protesting taxation without representation. In actuality, they are whining about paying taxes and allowing the money to go where it always has (supporting America). And taxpayers are represented by those they elect into the House of Representatives, Senate, and the White House.
